RE: [Digital BW] Scanning Polaroids

2008-03-15 by Mike Kirwan

I shoot 55 P/N and scan on my Epson V700 - works a treat. The quality id
very high and the negative is very fine grained. The film itself is supposed
to be Panataomic-X which was a wonderful high resolution film. 
 
Your best bet is to expose the film, remove from he holder leaving the lever
in the load position and develop after you get back from your trip. Also you
can remove the film from the packet and develop just like regular sheet film
 
While the prints are OK scanning the negative is way, way better

Subject: [Digital BW] Scanning Polaroids 
 
Anyone shoot Polaroids with a 4x5 and then scan them??? Is the quality 
high? Or, do you use the Polaroid film that also produces negatives, 
and just scan the negatives? I was thinking about scanning the positive 
print Polaroids because I've heard those Polaroid films that produce 
the negatives create a kinda messy negative, and if I'm 4 miles out in 
the desert hiking a trail, or in field for several days/ a week the 
negatives could be a problem, so just using the positives and scanning 
them later sounded like a viable option. I am just wondering if anyone 
does this, and how much resolution you lose if you scan the positive 
Polaroid prints?
